question for skaters
hey im not that great at skateboarding, i just have a problem that mabey you know the answer
three out of four of my wheels spin fine, but i think the other one made contact to water, and just stops immediatly after i spin it. the other ones spin for like 20-30 seconds. I used to use wd-40 for my old skate, but i learned that it screws up your bearings even more. it sucks cuz it ruins my speed and handleing.
Any advice?acrca Reviewed by acrca on . question for skaters hey im not that great at skateboarding, i just have a problem that mabey you know the answer three out of four of my wheels spin fine, but i think the other one made contact to water, and just stops immediatly after i spin it. the other ones spin for like 20-30 seconds.

Well, this takes me wayyy back, but I used to skate back in the day. If you have a skate tool, I would take off your problem wheel and take a look. You will probably need a new bearing, which shouldn't be too much of a problem. Hope that helps.

Yeah dude get a new bearing. Just go down to your skateshop and ask for a spare bearing, I'm sure they'll have one. I doubt it was the rain though I used to skate in the rain occasionally and my bearings were straight.
